The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular chamber of drystone corbelled construction was uncovered in the 1930's in the NW corner of the field in which Camp castle (KE037-032----) was situated. It measured c. 3.5m in length x 2m in height and was roofed by 1 or more flags. In one wall was a niche or flue with other niches opening off its sides (local information; CKFC 1941).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 749. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
